DESCENDANTS of some Kintyre First World War heroes are paying tribute to the sacrifices they made 100 years ago.
Karen Blake from Clachan will travel, this weekend, to a special ceremony at the Menin Gate memorial in Ypres, Belgium, for the national commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the 3rd Battle of Ypres 1917, known as Passchendaele.
Karen won her place, by ballot, for the event where she will also join 4,000 members of the families of the fallen at the Tyne Cot cemetery to remember them.
